The answer is &#8211; in short &#8211; it&#8217;s a little of both.<\/p>\n<p>Too much coffee can lead to a temporary increase in blood pressure, anxiety and upset stomach, in addition to its ability to become addictive. And don&#8217;t forget that added cream and sugar contribute to weight gain. For example (and you&#8217;re gonna hate it), a 24-ounce Starbuck&#8217;s venti double chocolate chip frappucino contains a whopping 520 calories!!!<\/p>\n<p>Despite these drawbacks, moderate coffee consumption can actually have a positive effect; it can help to reduce your risk of many problems, including Parkinson&#8217;s, Alzheimer&#8217;s, liver cancer, gallstones, and Type II diabetes, to name a few. It can also lower the risk of stroke in women.<\/p>\n<p>Research has shown there is no increased risk of heart disease or cancer from moderate coffee drinking. And a recent published study found that there was a 25% reduction in cases of endometrial cancer in women who drank four or more cups of coffee per day. Scientists believe that this is due partially to the cancer-fighting effect of coffee&#8217;s antioxidant phenols.<\/p>\n<p>Even a few cups of coffee per day can cut men&#8217;s risk of developing prostate cancer by 30%, with those consuming six cups per day reducing their risk by a whopping 60%. Coffee also reduces your risk of developing basal cell carcinoma by up to 20%.<\/p>\n<p>It is recommended that you get no more than 500-600 mg of caffeine per day, the equivalent of about six to eight cups of brewed coffee. Obviously, the amount of caffeine in a cup of espresso will be more than that.<\/p>\n<p>The key thing to remember is to consume coffee in moderation. But all in all, the benefits of coffee far outweigh the risks, so grab a cafe grande and drink up!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, once and for all, is coffee good or bad for your health?
